Most people can tell you what interests them, but not at the deep level needed to choose a career they will find satisfying -- and where they will be successful -- over the long term. The eight core interests measured in CareerLeader provide the fuel for your career, and for your future happiness.

Whether we like it or not, life involves trade-offs. Our career decisions involve making choices too. Are you more motivated by a flexible lifestyle, or by the chance to make a great deal of money? Would you rather make more money with higher risk, or pursue a career that offers more security? Of course, most of us would like them all. But, ultimately, we have to make the hard choices. CareerLeader helps you clarify your priorities, and decide what really motivates you.

What are you good at? What are your weaknesses -- and how can you develop your skills? How does how you see your skills compare with how other people see you, and see themselves? Using sophisticated factor analytics and a database of several hundred thousand business professionals, CareerLeader provides the answers to these and other questions by assessing forty-one key skills critical to success in careers in business and other organizations, as well as four "deep structure" factors that underlie those discrete skills.

CareerLeader compares your unique pattern of core interests, motivators, and skills to that of successful, satisfied business professionals in 33 different careers. The subtle, highly sophisticated algorithms used in this comparison provide an illuminating view of how similar—or dissimilar—you are to professionals in each of these careers. The precision of the analytics used in the production of the comparison scales makes the scales both highly valid and difficult to "see through" or "fake."

CareerLeader offers a variety of other resources to help you make your career plans, determine a strategy to implement them, and develop the tactics you need to execute your strategy, including: tips for successful interviewing, sketches of a wide range of industries, advice about choosing the industry you'll enjoy most, and help in making the final choice.

Even experienced, sophisticated business professionals often make the fatal mistake of underestimating the importance of finding a good fit with the "culture" of an organization they're considering joining. And, more often than not, lack of success on the job has less to do with a person's skills – and everything to do with a cultural mismatch. CultureMatch™ assesses you on four key personality dimensions that have direct parallels in an organization's "personality," and offers advice about what to seek and what to avoid in organizational cultures.
